Its origin comes from the XIX Century. It is a mixture between the rich lady bed-time dress (which once they gave it to their female servants, they ornamented them and went out with them to show their landlady kindness) and ballerina and Spanish singer’s suits. Both dresses had similar structure though different cloth.

This traditional wear is a dress tied to the breast, long and commodious, with sleeve, ribbons and other ornaments.

These beautiful dresses, very suitable for hot weather, are very much liked by Cubans and visitors.
